Okay, I admit it, I'm probably not your mom. But odds are I'm old enough to be. Now with Patreon account (under alarajrogers) and short stories on Amazon (under Alara Rogers).

    Dream log, epic Fluttercord edition

    Had a dream during a nap that is perfectly suited to be a story; I'm not even sure I need to tweak it.

    So in the dream, Fluttershy was dying of old age, and Discord couldn't fix it. (She also had insulin-resistant diabetes, but that's kind of less important.) Discord was very upset by this, and decided to take drastic steps to prevent it.

    Dammit, just discovered a friend here's been dead for two years...

    Today I learned that Jordan died in April 2021, and I had no idea. I was re-reading some of my older fanfics, saw his comments, thought, "Huh, I wonder how Jordan's doing", and the answer is, he's not. Dammit.

    FUCKING DONE FINALLY

    "The God of Breaking Rules In The Land of the Dead" is one of my oldest stories on this site. It's not my oldest incomplete -- "The King Who Would Be Man" and "Stumble In My Footsteps" are both older, all part of my initial rush in 2013-14 when I'd first gotten into the fandom and the writing came like a river. But it is old, posted almost 10 years ago (closer to 9 years, 11 months), and

    I don't know for how long, because I never know these things.

    A thing y'all should maybe know

    I may or may not make the change here on Fimfiction, but on Archive of our Own and Fanfiction.net, I am changing my handle to Kaleidolon. Mainly as a branding differentiator between fanfic and profic. It's not like I can hide that Alara J Rogers writes fanfic, not after posting it to the Internet for literally 29 years, but when I get published in real life I want it to be slightly

Not really. Actually I was working. Work has been very, very busy lately and very, very stressful. Plus, I'm actually successfully getting a garden to work this year, for the first time in I can't remember how long, but up through June was planting season, so pretty much all my free time has been going to that. I haven't had a chance to write a goddamn thing in weeks.

On the topic of writing, I have been commissioned to write a thing, and that is the thing I have been working on. You'll see it soon. Don't worry, you'll probably like it.

Once I am done writing the thing that I am writing, or at least the first chapter of it, I am going to get back to Not the Hero because it's July and that means it's been a year since I last updated it. :-( I have taken the next few days off for a staycation, in which I intend to finish up the last of my planting, get my house clean, and write some shit. I have a one-shot in the queue that was waiting on the Celestia and Luna episode, and now that it's out, I can write that one, but I'm gonna try to get a chapter of Not the Hero out first.

Good luck

BronyCon? Either you’re super close to it, or I’m remberingthe wrong person.

Yes, I live practically next door to Bronycon, and yes, I'm going.

Does having chickens help with your garden because they eat insects around it?

Also, can't wait to see whatever commissioned fic you are writing!

I reread Not the Hero from the beginning again just this week, so the timing of this update has me very excited as the story's fresh in my mind. I still love it to bits, I'm thrilled that more is on its way. Best of luck, and enjoy your time off work!

The Return of The Story With Stefan Karl Status is upon us!

Congrats on the garden! When I tried to make one everything died multiple times.

Excited for the new chapter, as well.
